Guarding the Agricultural Civilization:How Does Rural Households'Value Perceptions of Traditional Agricultural Systems Affect Their Willingness to Inherit?
The inheritance of traditional agricultural systems,represented by agricultural heritage,plays an important role in achieving ecological conservation goals and continuing China's excellent farming culture.Taking a typical traditional agricultural system,the Dancong tea cultural system(DTCS)in Chaozhou,Guangdong Province as an example,this study empirically analyses how rural households'value perceptions of the traditional agricultural system affect their willingness to inherit,by combining the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)and the inductive qualitative content analysis(IQCA)methods.The results show that rural households perceive economic and ecological values as the core values of traditional agricultural systems,and the interactive and synergistic relationships among other values reflect rural households'livelihood strategies based on value orientation.Rural households'flexibility and adaptability in livelihood strategies are affected by the dynamics of livelihood freedom,and their livelihood outcomes and willingness to inherit traditional agricultural systems show complexity and heterogeneity.Different livelihood types of rural households show divergent attitudes towards government policy tools,either as"icing on the cake"or"timely assistance",due to differences in value perceptions and awareness of the subject responsibility awareness.This study contributes to understanding the willingness and mechanism of rural households'participation to inherit traditional agricultural systems.It also has theoretical and practical implications for realizing the goal of sustainable livelihoods for rural households,promoting the inheritance of Chinas'excellent farming civilization,and facilitating the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature.
